A contemporary approach to American Indian Studies

American Indian cultures are rich with unique traditions and histories, but they do not reside solely in the history books. Neither does the American Indian Studies program at Minnesota State Mankato.

This new program embraces the vibrant cultures, languages, histories, and politics of American Indians. At the same time, it provides students with ample opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings through internships, field research, and service-learning projects.
